I've not tried it myself but I understand that Google Desktop will
respect your Spotlight preferences, so presumably if you set up
Spotlight to omit cataloguing your prefs etc. prior to installing
Google Desktop it'll take less time and be more useful in what it
looks at…?

Tried it and deleted it too. In my case, after four hours of
indexing (on a 2.16GHz MBP with 2 GB memory) it had only indexed
2000 files, almost nothing worth finding (prefs, XML files, a few
applications, etc.). I don't feel like waiting several days for it
to index.
